Victoria’s D escription Of Coronation Graphic “Proudest Day of My Life,” 19-Year-Old Girl Wrote in Her Diary, as Whole Empire Made Obeisance. BY JESSIE FANT EVANS. ITH practically the whole world reading every avail- able scrap of news pertain- ing to the present corona- tlon and the past ones upon which this one of our century depends for its pageantry and ceremonial, it is interesting to note that the most graphic description of them all is, in a1l probability, contained in excerpts from the diary of Queen Victoria. She called it “the proudest day” in ber own life. Through her own simple phrasing one sees the only child of Edward, Duke of Kent, fourth son of George ITI, fatherless since a baby of 8 months and reared in the greatest simplicity at Kensington, the old castle where she had been born and spent her days, coming as an un- spoiled girl Queen of 19 to preside over one of the world's greatest king- doms. Its pages capture, for the imagina- tion, London’s fond and expectant crowds enthusiastically packing its streets from early dawn that Summer morning while they waited for & glimpse of her; the triumphant sounds of the assembling bands, the roar of cannon and the pealing of all of London's bells, particularly of sonor- pus Big Ben, which the whole world has since come to know over the radio from London. Guns Woke Her Up. *1 was awakened at 4 o'clock by the guns in the park and I could not get much sleep afterward on account of the noise of the people, the bands, etc. Got up at 7 feeling strong and well. ‘The park presented a curious spec- tacle, as did the crowds of people on Constitution Hill, the soldiers, the bands, etc. I dressed, having & little breakfast before 7 and afterward,” the young Queen writes. she must have been, too, at this first glimpse of the popular reaction to the forthcoming awesome ceremonies. Concerning the placing of the erown of her office upon her head, she continues: “It was an impressive and beautiful moment. My excellent Lord Melbourne, who stood very close to me throughout the whole ceremony, ‘was completely overcome at this mo- ment and very much affected. He « gave me a fond, almost fatherly look, I may say.” This is, in itself, a touch- ing comment from the young Sov- ereign who herself had not known a father’s affection, only the loving and watchful care of her mother’s brother, her mother and Fraulein Lehzen, a most remarkable governess. A later diary record concerning the day speaks of “the cheering crowds,” but with the same simple, eager won- derment that she was the central figure in this great moving drama and pageantry. Physique Is Strong. Concluding her record of her coro- nation day, she says, “The enthusiasm, affection and loyalty are really touch- ing, and I shall remember the day as the proudest of my life. I came home st a little after 6 really not feeling tired.” In that concluding phrase it would &ppear she was giving evidence of that smaszing physical resilience which was 6o continue with her all of the years of her reign and make it the longest In English history, with its duration of 63 years, seven months and two days. Victoria began the diary from which these excerpts are given shortly after her 12th birthday, but even before that time there seems to have been upon the part of this little royal heir, *who at first had no mind to learn her letters,” & consciousness of that destiny which was in store for her. “ A little story about her at the early sge of 7 evidences not only that tact Jor which she was later to become famous but her appreciation of the niceties of certain situations, as well a8, perhaps, the truthfulness for which she was always noted from the time Shat she could talk. She Amazed George IV. Visiting her uncle, George IV, be- ‘wigged, gouty, enormous, almost loath- some and surrounded by the fem- inine sycophants of his court, famous for flouting the proprieties, she was asked by him to choose her favorite tune and the band should play it. Without hestiation she replied, “God save the King.” to the delight and | eamazement of the sovereign and the | assemblage which had gathered about to hear her answer. Concerning her attitude toward her | future responsibilities, she is pur- | “ ported to have said, “I will be good.” 'This childish pledge she kept as the ruler of great dominions, being always mindful of those virtues of simplicity, truthfulness, regularity portion and devotion, which had so emphasized in her early train- ing. Inheriting & crown “tarnished by fneptitude and vice,” she made it a symbol of private virtue and public honor and gained back for it cer- tain long lost values once fittingly described as ‘royal.” Unfortunately it has now come €0 be the fashion idly to use the phrase “Midvictorian” as an epithet | to describe a certain “stodginess” of | viewpoint alien to ‘modern thought | and progress, and ridiculously at vari- ance with the facts of history. In reality the Victorian era was one of the greatest the world has ever seen Judged from either material, economic and business standards, or on the basis of spiritual, moral or ethical eriteria. Inhuman Punishments Banned. ‘We of today are happily almost un- @ware, except through the pages of our history books, of the cruel and fnhumen punishments for petty erimes which were once meted out €0 hapless offenders. It was the Vic- torian era which did away with the imprisoning of men and women for debt—of hanging them for stealing sheep or giving them a life-time be- yond prison walls for insignificant erimes. The admission of women to mu- nicipal franchise, the development of ‘women's trade unions and the passage of women's property acts were all measures that came to pass during Victoria's reign. It was Victorian England, too, that saw the rise of such women as Hannah More, Eliz- abeth Barrett Browning, Elizabeth Frye, Mary Somerville, Florence Nightingale, Prances Mary Buss and Emily Davies. Victoria’s eldest son and that of ber consort Albert did not succeed his royal mother upon the throne until . How excited | | King George V and Queen Mary, as | majesties was undoubtedly the one his mother at countless popular gath- erings. He and his grandson, Edward VIII, are the only two British monarchs ever to have visited the United States. Autographs Preserved. Edward VII was the guest of Pres- ident Buchanan at the White House 8s Prince of Wales .in 1860. About this visit delightful stories still per- sist in the memories of Washington's cave-dwelling old families. Several center about balls at which England's future king waltzed with the beauti- ful Misses Alice and Janie Riggs and lovely Harriet Lane Johnston, the President’s niece, who was later the donor of the Harriet Lane Johnson Building, central unit of the St. Al- bans’ School for Boys in the Cathe- dral Close of Mount St. Alban. Miss Elizabeth Peet, dean of wom- en at Gallaudet College, Kendall Green, beyond the Union Station, is the possessor of & red morocco-bound autograph album. One of its pages carries the signature of Edward VII, on October 12, 1860, and below it those of his royal suite, including such scions of English nobility as the following: Albert Edward Lyons, New- castle, St. Germans, Robert Bruce and G. N. Grey. At the time of Edward's visit to America he was brought to the New York School for the Deaf and Dumb, one of the most famous educational institutions for such instruction in the world. Mrs. Peet, beautiful and accomplished young wife of Dr. Lewis Isaac Peet, second of his line to at- tain international fame in his work among the deaf, wrote a poem in the prince’s honor, which she gave in the sign language. Another King's Signature, Too. As if fate had left a biank page in the album for the autographs of his grandson, upon the leaf directly op- posite his grandsires, are those of Edward VIII, as Prince of Wales, upon & similar visit to America. It is in- scribed to Miss Elizabeth Peet, daugh- ter of the book’s original owner. Im- mediately below are the names of his royal escort and that of “Grey of Falloden,” Great Britain's Ambassador to the United States at the time of the present Duke of Windsor's visit, as well as the son of that “G. N. Grey, who had signed his name in the little old album in 1860. Owing doubtless to the narrow sys- tem of education laid down for him, which excluded from his intellectual diet even the novels of Sir Walter Scott and denied him the compan- ionship of boys of his own age, Ed- ward VII, when he came to the free- dom of his manhood, traveled far from the rigid traditions attendant upon his rearing. However, upon his ascendancy to the throne, so great was his gen- uine love of his subjects and so closely was he in touch with their national tastes and inclinations as a ruler who had himself been prone to human | failings, that he did much to remove the throne from its former isolation, and to bring it in touch with all| sections of his dominions. Of medieval splendour was his im- pressive march through the streets of London in all the trappings of his Kingly state under a great canopy abg'r:e by the belted earls of the king- Date Changed by Iliness. The date originally set tor Edward VII's coronation had to be changed upon its very threshhold because of the King's serious illness, but it lost nothing of its colorfulness by reason of the delay. One of his first royal commands as King was that the magnificent state coach originally built by order of King George III upon the oc- casion of his marriage and a feature | of Queen Victoria's coronation and of her opening of Parliament up | until the time of the Prince consort's death, should be thoroughly restored to its former grandeur. Drawn by eight Hanoverian cream-colored horses, whose progenitors ‘were orig- inally introduced into Germany from Spain, it became one of the thrill- ing motifs of his own coronation pro- cession and of that successive open- ings of Parliament. __This same great royal coach, 12 feet in height and weighing 4 tons, with its Panels painted by Cipriani, was also used for the coronation procession of it will be for that of George VI and Elizabeth, his consort. - Royal Children Cheered. The most loudly cheered coach in the coronation procession of the late King George after that of their conveying the five royal children, with the ovation extended Edward, Prince of Wales, who occupied the seat of honor with his sister Mary beside him, almost surpassing that aceorded the Sovereigns. As the coronation procession of May 12, with all the splendor and trappings of its medieval pomp and pageantry, Sweeps past the hundreds of thou- sands of spectators come together to view it and their majesties, inevitably there will be in the thoughts of all the memory of the one who foreswore be- ing its central figure for the woman of his choice. BAKERY STRIKERS GRANTED INCREASE Business Agent of Salesmen's Union Announces Deliv- eries to Resume.
